Music creates and amplifies emotion. It always has, and it always will. Using music in a video creates an emotional response in the audience, and that emotional response motivates the audience to take action.

There’s so much that goes into the creation and maintenance of a website, in terms of both strategy and content.

Video accounted for 50% of all mobile traffic, and for 69% of all sales and marketing campaigns as of late 2015.

But what slows video creation exponentially in both stages is the lack of effort made in pre-production.
